Totally frustrating on both points.
Pass this onto the JRC. They can pull the tapes recording your discussion with CC and investigate it further.
Since it wasn't training or a change of aircraft type then you should have been kept on the pattern and hence been paid the overtime.
I agree totally regarding guys working on G days. All these guys are doing is screwing us all over.
From talk on the street CC are growing increasingly desperate with crew shortages. Calls from CC requesting crew to work G days are on the increase again.
